President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran faces a “full-scale” war from the US, Israel, and Europe, without confirming military action.

He criticizes harsh US sanctions and Western pressure, saying they hurt Iran’s trade, economy, and everyday life.

His remarks come amid rising regional tensions, recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and an upcoming Netanyahu visit to Washington.
Pezeshkian decried the crippling American sanctions imposed on Iran since Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office in January. He said the West is creating difficulties for Iran by “besieging us from every aspect.”
He continued: “On one side, expectations in society have risen; on the other side, the West is blocking our sales, trade, exchanges – creating problems in terms of livelihood, cultural, political and security-wise.”
